Mitsubishi recalls 1,400
I-Miev electric vehicles.

The Los Angeles Times (2/5, White, 692K) reports,
"Mitsubishi Motors North America is recalling certain model year 2012
i-MiEV electric vehicles that were manufactured from Dec. 2, 2011, through
Sept. 7, 2012, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration." The Times notes that "the brake system vacuum pump
on those vehicles may fail, rendering the vacuum pump inoperable" and
"if the vacuum pump system fails, the recall notice says, it will reduce
available brake power, which would result in lengthened stopping distances and
could increase the risk of a vehicle crash."*

Cars (2/5, Geiger) also notes that
"Mitsubishi is recalling 1,402 model-year 2012 versions of the i-MiEV
compact electric car due to problems with the brakes, according to the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration."
